I'm sure some of have read Justice League of America (Vol. 3) No. 4, (which came out last week), or a least heard about what happened. It indeed featured a death no one, not even me, expected to happen; the character who died in that issue (at least apparently) was Selina Kyle/Catwoman, but when or if she comes back from the dead later has yet to be determined. This brings me to present today's topic on The DC and Marvel Heroes Forum. For this, you are invited to share your comemntaries on what hero or heroine deaths in DC and/or Marvel comic book stories made you sad the most. I'm sure a lot of us have experieneced comic book death stories that amde us sad we think things like "why did he or she have to die?" and "I hope there's a way for the heroes to bring those dead heroes back from the dead later on in the series or this series is now forever ruined". Yes, over the years, numerous heroes and heroines from both sides (DC and Marvel) have kicked the bucket, only for some of them to manage to later return to life (like Jason Todd/Robin, Clark Kent/Superman, Oliver Queen/Green Arrow, Steve Rogers/Captain America, and Tony Stark/Iron Man), proving that in the realms of fiction (depending on what franchise of course), death isn't always a premanent thing, buts sometimes what appears to be a death in one story is later confirmed by a later one not to be a real one at all (ex: after Bruce Wayne's/Batman's apparent death in Final Crisis, later stories in canon DC Universe continuity established that Batman did not really die, but rather he was teleported to the past while what appeared to be a killed Batman was a clone). Anyway, sound off your comments.

Today on the DC and Marvel Heroes Forum, I post a topic where you, the readers are invited to share your memories of the Iron Man category of the Marvel Universe franchise as we take time to celebrate 50 years of Marvel's famous powered armored super-hero.
Here are some questions you may want to consider as you take part in the discussion: How you first got to know Iron Man? What are your favorite Iron Man adventures/battles? Any favorite characters from the Iron Man comics? Any favorite Iron Man armors from over the years? Would you say Iron Man's gotten more fresh in comics over the years or worse, even after the launch of the Marvel Now! initiative? Any favorite moments from filmed Iron Man media? Any collected merchandise so far?

With the release of Man of Steel nearing, I thought for today's posted topic on The DC and Marvel Heroes Forum, I host a topic where the theme is all things live-action films and T.V. series based on DC Comics' comic book hero and/or heroine characters. Yes, it's been 70 years since the first live-action filmed piece based on a DC Comics hero/heroine came out (that's of course the 1943 serial The Batman). Over the years, we have witnessed the releases of a number of live-action productions based on characters of the DC Universe mythos (like the 1966 Batman T.V. series, the 1974 Shazam T.V. series, the 1970s Wonder Woman T.V. series, Superman: The Movie, the 1990s The Flash, Jonah Hex, Green Lantern, and recently Arrow) as well as live-action productions based on DC Comics heroes and heroines not part of the DC Universe mythos (like The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, A History of Violence, The Spirit, Red, V for Vendetta, and Watchmen).
Anyway, in discuciing the theme of this forum post, you can talk about things like what DC based-live-action works are your favorites, what works you find best respect the appeal and essence of their comic book counterparts (example: do you find Watchmen was true to the comic book limites sereis it was based on?), what live-action works you find have lead actors who well looked and/or acted the DC heroe/heroine roles themselves (example: do you find Linda Carter well acted and looked the role of Diana Prince/Wonder Woman when she starred in the 1970s Wonder Woman T.V. series?), and what DC Comics-based live-actions would you recommend to non-comic book readers.
